Whether a few drops to large amounts, urinary incontinence is an involuntary action that affects 13 million Americans (of which 85 percent are women). Urinary incontinence is a symptom, not a disease. There are four prevalent types of urinary incontinence: urge, stress, mixed, and overflow.

​

Urge urinary incontinence is the unexpected urgent need to urinate and the lack of ability to use a toilet without leaking urine.

 

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are unable to control urinary leakage from a physical activity such as laughing, sneezing, or exercise.

​

Mixed urinary incontinence presents itself when both urge and stress incontinence symptoms occur.

​

Overflow urinary incontinence results when the bladder is no longer able to hold the urine due to exceeding its holding capacity.

​

There are many treatment options your professional healthcare provider may suggest for urinary incontinence. The effectiveness of a treatment is dependent on the severity of symptoms and other body-related changes. Common options to treat urinary incontinence include physical therapy, medications, vaginal inserts, behavioral therapies, bladder training, and surgery. Some treatments require a great deal of your time, privacy, and dignity. Medications may produce unwanted side effects and surgery requires recovery time.
